Washington.?A plan for "interproations" in senate acceptance of the euRue of nations has been suggested ly former President Taft in ihu hr??a >f uniting on a middle ground enough lemoeratic and republican senators to lefeat any radical amendment of the covenant and in the end obtain its atification. The suggestion has been received vith earnest consideration by tlio rroup of republicans who favor the eague idea and who already are at vork on a definite program of inter>retative reservations which they delare they have reason to believe will >e accepted by the administration. The administration leaders however, inwilling to concede that any reserations will be necessary, still Insist hey will have the votes when the ime comes to ratify the covenant as t is. So confident are the league repubicans of the success of their plan that otne of them believe President Wllon will publicly accept it to smooth he way to acceptance of the league. Some republican senators who have een the President in the last few lays have come away from the White iouse with the impression that Mr. Vilson while not encouraging reserations if they can be avoided, might lot be adverse to such interpretations is would leave the league fabric unimpaired. They say. however, that this mpression is not based on any direct tatement by the President. Mr. Taft's suggestion, which created i sensation in the senate because of lis well known advocacy of unreservd ratification, was ombodied in two etters to Will H.
